  1. I thought that "This is Water." by David Foster Wallace was very effective in its performance. The tone of the video caught my attention as a viewer and made me more interested. The video gets a strong point across and makes you think outside of the box. Although I was clearly able to understand the video, Wallace still had words running across the screen that were being said as well. He used this method in order to point out to the viewer what is important and to get his point across more precisely. This video makes me realize I should keep an open mind when it comes to certain things.

  2. I really enjoyed "This is Water." I feel that the video did a very good job of getting me to feel that I was going through the experiences. The acting out of the scenario helped set the tone of the lecture. The point of the lecture was delivered very nicely. I would encourage others to view this lecture.

  3. I thought that "This is Water" was an interesting video. The way that David Foster Wallace narrated it helped him get his point across. He definitely had my attention throughout the video. I felt that the words in the background of what he is saying are unnecessary because the viewers hear him and don't need the words. Overall, I thought it was an effective video and would recommend others to watch it.
